Linlong quickly arrived at the library. After entering the library, he directly headed to the top floor. This was because all the books related to Grade 4 Ice Talisman Papers were on the top floor.
However, when he reached the top floor, he was stopped by a person wearing a face mask.
This person was wearing a mask with the head of an old man. However, because his entire body was covered by a loose black robe, Linlong could not tell his age.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that Linlong was obviously going to enter the top floor of the library, the person wearing a face mask asked coldly.
From his voice, Linlong felt that he should be a middle-aged man.
"I want to enter the top floor to read books related to level-4 ice talismans," Linlong said respectfully.
The reason why he was respectful was because this person was obviously the person in charge of the top floor.
"You are still not strong enough. You cannot read books related to level-4 ice talismans!" The person said coldly again.
Obviously, the person could tell that Linlong was a new disciple and naturally thought that Linlong did not have the ability.
"I have already completely mastered third-grade frost talismans, and I can also draw third-grade frost talismans," Linlong replied.
"Is this true?" Linlong's words obviously surprised the person.
"Yes, it is true." Linlong nodded.
"Then, let me see you activate the level-3 ice talisman," the person said.
Lin Long followed Lin Dong's instructions and took out a Rank 3 Ice Talisman. Then, he immediately activated it. In an instant, a wave of cold air spread out in all directions with him at the center. However, it did not spread to the next floor. Evidently, it was blocked by the Runic Magic Array that enveloped the entire library.
The person nodded as soon as Linlong activated it because he could see that Linlong could really activate the level-3 ice talisman.
"Not bad, not bad." The person nodded and praised. The coldness from before was nowhere to be seen.
Then, the person said again, "Then draw the level-3 ice talisman on the table at the side for me to see."
Linlong immediately took out the remaining materials and drew a level-three frost talisman on the table. He was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to draw a level-three frost talisman.
Linlong's skillful movements caused the other party to repeatedly nod his head before he said, "Not bad. Not only can you activate a Grade 3 frost talisman, but you can also draw a Grade 3 frost talisman. You are qualified to enter the top floor!"
"Many thanks, Senior!" Linlong could not help but be overjoyed.
Just as he was about to enter, the other party reached out to stop him.
"Senior, this is …?" Linlong asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Show me your waist tag," the man said.
Previously, he felt that Lin Long would not be able to activate and draw a Level 3 Ice Talisman. Therefore, he did not even have the interest to look at Lin Long's waist tag. However, things were different now.
Seeing that the other party wanted his waist tag, Linlong immediately took out his own waist tag.
After taking a look at Lin Long's badge, this person couldn't help but be even more shocked. He discovered that Lin Long really was a new disciple, and when he entered, he seemed to only be able to activate a rank 2 Ice Talisman.
How did he improve his strength to such an extent in such a short time? Upon seeing this, this person couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
In his memory, no one could improve so quickly. Even the most talented person in the history of the academy was unable to improve so much in such a short time.
Could it be that this disciple's talent completely surpassed that of the previous person? Looking at Linlong, this thought emerged in his mind.
Seeing that the other party was clearly stunned, Linlong couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what's wrong?"
After regaining his senses, the person hurriedly laughed and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something … Alright, you can enter now."
As he spoke, he returned Linlong's waist tag.
After receiving the waist tag, Linlong walked in.
Should he tell the Headmaster that there was someone with unprecedented talent among the new disciples? Looking at Linlong's back, the other party fell into deep thought.
Linlong didn't know that so many thoughts flashed through the other party's mind. After entering the top floor of the library, he seriously browsed through the books inside.
The books on the top floor were obviously the least compared to the other floors, but there were still about a hundred books.
…
While Linlong was earnestly reading the books in the Compendium Pavilion, Xie Tong had already found Lu Zhang's residence with two other people. He immediately went to meet Lu Zhang.
Not long after, they arrived outside Lu Zhang's room and the person beside Xie Tong directly knocked on the door.
Who is looking for me? Could it be someone from the Black Assassins? Did they already complete their mission? Naturally, Lu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard the knocking.
He immediately opened the door and saw Xie Tong and the other two people outside.
Why is Senior Brother Xie Tong looking for me? Looking at Xie Tong and the other two, Lu Zhang was extremely puzzled.
Xie Tong was one of the more famous people in the academy, so Lu Zhang naturally recognized him.
"Senior Brother Xie Tong, what's the matter?" Lu Zhang hurriedly asked.
"You are Lu Zhang?" Xie Tong didn't say anything, but the person beside him coldly asked.
"Yes, Junior Brother. My surname is Lu, and my name is Zhang," Lu Zhang hurriedly said respectfully.
"Is that so? Come with us!" The person beside Xie Tong said coldly.
"Is that so? Come with us!" Lu Zhang was startled and couldn't help but ask.
The other party clearly didn't want anything good.
"If there's nothing, can't you come with us?" The person said fiercely.
"Of course, of course I want to go with you, Senior Brother." Lu Zhang could only say.
The other party was obviously looking for trouble with him, but considering that they were in the academy, the other party absolutely wouldn't dare to act rashly, so he agreed.
"Very well, then come with us!" The person said.
Lu Zhang obediently followed them out. The few of them turned left and right, and finally came to the easternmost house in the house.
Arriving here, the person from before coldly said, "Go in!"
"Senior Brother Xie Tong, what exactly is the matter?" At this time, Lu Zhang asked again.
Although they were still in the academy, his intuition told him that he was afraid that he would encounter big trouble after entering the house, so he hurriedly asked such a question.
At this time, Xie Tong said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lu, don't worry, we just want to ask you a few small questions. Don't worry, after asking, we will let you leave."
Hearing Xie Tong's words, Lu Zhang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. "In that case, I can rest assured."
After saying that, he strode into the house.
As soon as he entered, Xie Tong and the other two followed him in, then directly closed the door.
After closing the door, Lu Zhang hurriedly asked again, "Senior Brother Xie Tong, what exactly is the matter?"
"We don't know what is the matter," Xie Tong said.
"It can't be, what is the matter that you don't know?" Lu Zhang was a little confused.
Xie Tong continued, "The reason why we called you here is because you have offended someone!"
"I offended someone?" Lu Zhang was stunned, but after racking his brains, he couldn't figure out who exactly he had offended.
Of course, he did offend Lin Long, but he didn't think that Lin Long had the ability to call an expert like Xie Tong to threaten him.
Soon after, Lu Zhang hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Xie Tong, I don't think I have offended any senior brother at all."
"If you didn't offend someone, would we have brought you here?" A person beside Xie Tong said coldly.
"I really didn't offend anyone." Lu Zhang was really on the verge of crying.
"Alright, the two of you stay here and watch him," Xie Tong said.
"Senior Brother Xie Tong, what are you guys trying to do? This is the academy. If you guys try to use force, I will scream! "Lu Zhang couldn't help but fiercely shout.
This was the academy, and the runic array that enveloped the academy would sense it the moment he shouted. At that time, the law enforcers would come over, so he wasn't afraid that Xie Tong and the other two would do anything to him.
It was also because of the runic array that no one dared to cause trouble in the academy.
Hearing his words, Xie Tong smiled, "Lu Zhang, don't worry and scream. The runic array won't respond even if you scream until your throat is hoarse."
"How is that possible? Aren't we in the academy?" Lu Zhang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Xie Tong crossed his arms.
Give it a try? Lu Zhang frowned, but in the next moment, he decided to throw caution to the wind. He couldn't allow himself to be trampled on!
At that moment, he shouted, "Help, help me …"
After shouting twice, he stopped. In his opinion, the law enforcers would soon come over.
But what made his expression turn ugly was that no one came over even after a long time.
During this period of time, Xie Tong and the other two remained in the same spot. They weren't worried that the law enforcers would come over to cause trouble.
"How is that possible … Why isn't anyone coming?" Lu Zhang's expression turned even uglier when he confirmed that no one came over.
Xie Tong said unhurriedly, "Let me tell you, this house is one of the few places in the academy that isn't enveloped by the runic array. In other words, no matter what happens in here, the runic array won't know."
Xie Tong had unintentionally discovered that this house had such a function.
Hearing this, Lu Zhang's back was drenched in cold sweat. If that was the case, he would have died for nothing even if the law enforcers killed him.
"Senior Brother Xie Tong, can you tell me who I offended?" Lu Zhang asked with a sullen expression.
"You offended Young Master Lin Long!" Xie Tong said coldly.
"Lin Long? Why would he ask senior brother Xie Tong to do such a thing for him? "Lu Zhang couldn't help but be shocked.
He didn't dare to believe Xie Tong's words. With Lin Long's strength, how could he make Xie Tong do something for him?
"Are you looking down on Young Master Lin?" Hearing Lu Zhang's words, Xie Tong's face darkened and he immediately kicked Lu Zhang.
Lu Zhang, who was caught off guard, was kicked to the ground.
It can't be, is Xie Tong really doing things for Lin Long? Could it be that there's some terrifying force behind Lin Long? Such a thought flashed through Lu Zhang's mind.
"The two of you stay here and 'serve' him well. I'll go call Young Master Lin over!" Xie Tong said.
After saying that, he left to look for Lin Long.
At this moment, Lin Long was in the library. How could he find him? Therefore, he only saw Lin Long three days later when Lin Long came out of the library.
Lin Long, who had spent three days, still hadn't mastered the fourth grade ice talisman. In his opinion, he would need at least five more days.
The fourth grade ice talisman was much more difficult to master than the third grade ice talisman. Naturally, it would take more time.
He came out to take a breath of fresh air and temporarily empty his mind.
He stayed there for three days and did not leave at all. Not only was this kid's talent astonishing, but his endurance was also unmatched by ordinary people. It was no wonder that he had such success, the masked man thought to himself as he watched Linlong's back.
After coming out and returning to his residence, Lin Long saw Xie Tong.
When he saw Xie Tong, Lin Long remembered what he had asked him to do. Before he could ask, Xie Tong said, "Young Master Lin, I've already caught Lu Zhang."
"Oh, where is he?" Hearing Xie Tong's words, Lin Long's eyes lit up.
"He's in the academy. Young Master, follow me and you'll know." Xie Tong said.
"In the academy? Aren't you afraid that the people in the academy will find out? "Lin Long couldn't help but be surprised.
"There are a few places in the academy that the runic array can't detect. The place where I'm imprisoning Lu Zhang is one of them, so I'm not worried about being discovered." Xie Tong replied.
"Is that so." Lin Long nodded, then said, "Then bring me there!"
With Xie Tong leading the way, Lin Long quickly arrived at the house and saw Lu Zhang inside.
At this moment, Lu Zhang was beaten black and blue by the two people. Lin Long almost couldn't recognize him.
"Lin Long, it's really you!" Seeing Lin Long appear, Lu Zhang couldn't help but exclaim.
Originally, he hoped that it wasn't Lin Long, but now that he saw Lin Long, the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered.
"It's really me. You didn't expect it, right?" Lin Long said calmly.
"Lin Long, how did you get Senior Brother Xie Tong to do things for you?" Lu Zhang couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know later … Let me ask you something now. Is Fan Youhe's disappearance related to you? Also, did you ask the people from the Black Assassins to deal with me?" Lin Long said coldly.
Although he felt that it was impossible, he still asked. After all, he didn't offend anyone in the academy.
"Lin Long, what does Fan Youhe's disappearance have to do with me? As for the Black Assassins, I don't know anything at all." Lu Zhang directly denied it.
Naturally, he wouldn't tell Lin Long his background.
"Young Master, this kid seems to be stubborn. Do you want me to beat him up?" At this moment, Xie Tong, who was at the side, asked.
"There's no need for that," Lin Long said.
Hearing Lin Long say so, Lu Zhang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really afraid that after Xie Tong beat him up, Lin Long wouldn't be able to hold back.
However, now that he didn't let Xie Tong do that, he wasn't worried that Lin Long would force out the secret in his heart.
"Let the two of them leave as well," Lin Long said.
"Hmm … The two of you leave first," Xie Tong immediately said to the other two.
The two of them hurried out. After they left, Lin Long directly walked in front of Lu Zhang.
"What are you trying to do?" Lu Zhang suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In the next moment, Lin Long directly placed a restriction on him.
